BATON ROUGE, La., March 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Privilege
Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange, or PURE, has tagged BancorpSouth
Insurance Services (BXSI) with its prestigious "Paragon"
designation. PURE-appointed brokers are among the most highly
qualified and respected professionals in their field. This year,
fewer than 8% of PURE-appointed brokers earned the "Paragon"
designation.
According to BXSI President Markham
McKnight, the agency's Private and Premier Client
specialists across the footprint continue to work diligently to
meet the risk management needs of high net worth individuals and
families.
"The level of our specialists' expertise is obvious with this
recognition from PURE," McKnight said. "They continue to create an
exceptional service experience that warrants the "Paragon"
designation and inspire our employees across the board to provide
the best for our clients and partners every day."
Mark Galante, PURE Group of
Insurance Companies' Chief Marketing Officer, lauded BXSI's
continued excellence. "Brokers like BancorpSouth Insurance Services
are the tangible embodiment of the definition of paragon: a model
to be emulated," Galante said. "We are fortunate to collaborate
closely with such great firms in the development and servicing of
PURE's extraordinary membership."
